Rhetorical Question


This morning, when i went church and study bible, i found that jesus liked to use Rhetorical question.He liked to use rhetorical question to encourage someone to agree with him.It is interesting to note that Jesus' first recorded words are in the form of two questions.


Luke records Jesus' trip to Jerusalem at age twelve for the Passover. At the conclusion of the feast, Jesus' parents began the trip home and thought that He was among their family and friends. After His parents could not find Jesus in their company of travelers, they returned to Jerusalem and eagerly sought Him. Finding Jesus in the temple sitting in the midst of the teachers both listening to them and asking them questions, Jesus responds to his parent's question saying: "Why is it that you sought Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business" (Lk. 2:49)?
